Bookroo's summary

Bear and Bird are best friends who don't always see eye to eye. When Bird feels left out of Bear's nickname game, she worries about their friendship. As they discover they have no dislikes in common, they question if they can still be friends. But a shared dislike might just save the day. With secrets, games, and a lot of heart, this charming duo navigates the ups and downs of friendship in four delightful stories.

From the publisher

A secret is in the air as the unlikely friends return in four more stories threaded with Jarvis’s signature warmth and subtle humor. Best friends Bear and Bird may not always understand each other, but they always want the other to be happy. So when Bird feels left out because Bear has given a cute nickname to everyone but her, she’s relieved when her hasty list of names for Bear doesn’t reach him (Stinky Sock Muffin, anyone?). And when the two of them learn they have zero dislikes in common–from lasagna to chess to the word armadillo–and wonder if they can still be friends, they soon realize there’s one important dislike they can both agree on. Whether the challenge is being hopeless at keeping a secret (Bear), or getting befuddled about the rules for hide-and-seek (Bear again), this ever-endearing pair continue to charm in a sixth set of gentle stories.
